I feel the same way. My only question: Will it make it go faster?

Default Chrome To each his own

Responding to the original post question, too much bling. Looks cheap. That said, I do have an exhaust plate filler and SS inserts.

As to the Ronald McDonald comment, I have a MY with factory torch red seats/interior and I love it. Lots of "wow" comments. So, to each his own. I'm happy with the look - that's all that matters.

Is it your car that will be featured?

Can't argue with that, but the OPs tastes are definitely different from the mainstream (and me.)

Toque I think you have one of the best looking C5s on the forum.

The chrome parts look like they could be from a burger king kid's meal. I'm dead serious.

If I saw a kid open up his kid's meal, and pull out chrome louvers for a C5, I'd think nothing of it.

I'm not a fan of aftermarket bling. I'm pretty much a purist.

I love the car otherwise
